y TIE.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, BnoNIsLnw SoRooINK- SKY, a subject of the Czar of Russia, resident of Cosmopolis, county of Grays I-Iarbor, and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ties, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to improvements in neckties, scarfs or cravats, and has as its special object the provision of means whereby the tie may be given a new appearance at intervals, as for instance on each of the seven days of a week.

A further object is to provide means, combined with the tie, whereby it may be readily attached to the collar button, and finally, to provide such devices in forms which may be attached to ordinary types oi ties whereby their appearance may be changed.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel design, construction and combination of parts hereafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a front plan view of a tie made in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is aview of the changeable element engaged with the tie.

Fig. 4 is a rear plan view of the tie shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a fragmental perspective view showing the "attaching means, and

Fig. 6 is a front plan view of another form of tie to which the invention is applied.

In Figs. 1, 2 and 4, a reversible 'orm of tie is indicated, comprised of crossed-scarf elements, respectively 10 and 11, one end of which has beveled ends 14 and 15 the other ends 16 and 17 being cut squarely across forming in effect a tie relatively wider than the opposite end, both scarf elements being attached to a 'backing 18 having the same general contour as that of the face of the tie, which is engaged with the backing by any common means.

Secured between the face and backing of the tie, at each end thereof, are annular disks formed with a plurality of segments 20 to 26 inclusive each of which bear upon its face a different color as indicated parlSpecification of Letters Patent. 1 Appiicationfid iraysi; 1917. serial 116.171,88'5.

tic'ularly in Fig. 3, the disk being rigidly engaged with a central stem 28, which passes through the backing and is provided with a corrugated. operating knob 29 by means of which it may be readily turned in either direction as desired so as to bring any particular color into the V-shaped opening 30, formed at the ends of the tie, centrally between the cross elements 10 and 11.

In Fig. 6, an adaptation shows a different form of tie in which the ends 32 extend downward below the knot 33, formed at the end of the triangular face or shield 34, which contains at its upper edge a triangular opening 35 through which any one of the segments may be shown.

Eyes 40 are engaged by stitching or otherwise to the back of the tie, carrying a thin metallic strip having a central raised portion 42 in which is resiliently engaged a loop 43 the same being of such size as to pass over the head of an ordinary collar button,

then pressed downwardly, upon the shank.

whereupon the oppositely formed loop 44, which is of lesser magnitude, may be engaged with the pivoted tongue 45 the same 54 held by the eyes 55, and provided with asliding plate 56 which holds the end of the strap in engagement.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that a tie has been described presenting all the ornamental-effects of an ordinary tie and has in addition the feature of substituting a different colored central portion at any desired time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a double ended tie, a face comprised of crossed elements spaced apart at the inner edges of their terminals forming V-shaped openings at both ends of the tie, a backing supporting said crossed elements, rotatable circular disks mounted upon the backing behind the crossed elements and filling the V- shaped openings, said disks being of varied colors, and adapted to be manually rotated from one position to another for changing the colors, a loop adapted to pass over the the tie by a ybuckleinstellinge `toothed elehead of a collar button and to be pressed ment, and L sliding plate for securing the v down thereafter upon the shank thereof,4 it other end of said band to the tie, substan- 10 tongue, and a second loop eclptedto be entiallyusdesorbecl.

5 gaged with said tongue for holding said In testimony whereof I have aflxed my first loop securely clamped upon the shank signature. of the button, a band secured to one end of BRONISLAV SOROCINKS'KY.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D. C.
